how i can reduce speed of find items in dropdownlist control
for example:i have 5 items in my dropdownlist control , (1524,2523,6521,1412,6531)

Not clear. Are you using some type-ahead/autocomplete kind of textbox for your dropdown?

Please share your dropdown selected change code snippet.

I don't think you can change this behavior. As I know, the control is a basic IE one, based on the good old API GUI element, this timeout is set somewhere in the client OS, so you can not change it anyway. But, you can use Ajax autocomplete[^] for such purposes. You have quite the same result with a bit different user experience.

You can use ListSearch of the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit for that purpose. You can use that for a drop down list. Check out the article of it here[^] and here[^].
